Chilled Cucumber Avocado Soup!

(Makes 1 serving)

So you took our advice, went to the farmers' market, and loaded up on seasonal produce. Nice work. Now what the heck are you going to do with it? Soup, anyone? We know, we know. Soup is generally considered a winter dish, but it's time to break that mold. After all, we're all outliers here, right?

• 1 large cucumber, peeled and chopped
• 1/2 medium avocado
• 1 medium serrano chili, seeded
• 6 oz. plain yogurt
• 2 tsp. fresh lemon juice
• 1/4 tsp. sea salt

Recipe: Greek Yogurt Dip (Tzatziki)

Recipe: Greek Yogurt Dip (Tzatziki)

(Makes 8 servings.)

While the Greek empire may be a shadow of what it once was, this Mediterranean country still has plenty of things going for it, including a pantheon of deities that translates well into Hollywood blockbusters, several beautiful islands, and awesome intestinal health, thanks to a cuisine that is rich in pro- and prebiotics.

Take tzatziki, for example. This yummy yogurt dip is packed with probiotics (provided you use live-culture yogurt!) along with prebiotic garlic. It may not help your breath, but further on down the line, it'll have your digestive tract singin'.

• 2 cups plain Greek yogurt
• 1/2 tsp. sea salt
• 1/4 tsp. ground black pepper
• 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
• 2 small cucumbers, peeled and diced
• 2 Tbsp. fresh dill, finely chopped
• 1 Tbsp. fresh mint leaves, finely chopped

1. Combine yogurt, salt, and pepper in a medium bowl; mix well.
2. Add garlic, cucumbers, dill, and mint; mix well.
3. Chill for 1 hour.
4. Serve with fresh vegetables or cooked fresh artichoke for dipping.

Tip: To cook fresh artichokes, cut about 3/4 inch off the tip of the artichoke. Rinse artichoke and cook covered in simmering water for 25 to 35 minutes or until outer leaves are easily pulled off.

P90X & Shakeology Transformation! WOW!

So you might be skeptical when it comes to fitness programs and protein shakes because you have tried so many and have failed each time or couldn't actually keep the weight off! That used to me too! I found great motivation when I met people and saw their transformation up close and personal! I want to share a story with you all! This woman is a mother of 2 and changed her life for the better. After looking at these before and afters you might be wondering what she ate, and exactly how she did. So I asked her! This is what she
said:
 I had a chocolate shakeology with 2 cups of cold coffee (with espresso) for breakfast each morning, a muscle milk light for mid-morning snack, something for lunch like grilled chicken breast and steamed veggies (broccoli or green beans etc), a P90X protein bar for mid afternoon snack, and a dinner similar to lunch with a slightly larger portion and usually one good carb like a sweet potato or a small portion of Dreamfields reduced carb whole wheat pasta and homemade tomato sauce. I also would make a giant pot of homemade minestrone or pasta fagioli soup and freeze containers of it to have for a quick lunch or dinner if I didn't have time to cook something he...althy. If the family ordered pizza or chinese or had pasta for dinner, I would either have some of that soup or a shake with a banana in it or one of the other recipes with a little more calories than my breakfast shake. I would adjust my calorie intake based on how I was feeling, with the different phases of the P90X program sometimes I needed more or less. If I was feeling tired or wasted I would increase how much I was eating or add another good carb at lunch time etc. I also had my rule of 6 - I didn't eat anything over 6 grams of sugar or 6 grams of fat, except olive oil or canola oil in my cooking.


If these pictures are not inspiration, then I don't know what is! If you would like to take this challenge or learn more about Shakeology and our other fitness programs...LET ME KNOW!!!
